Belle Gibson case goes to court hearing

Victoria's Consumer Affairs will get its day in court against disgraced health blogger and fake cancer patient Belle Gibson even though she has ignored previous court hearings.

Ms Gibson and her company, Inkerman Road Nominees Pty Ltd, are listed for a hearing against Consumer Affairs Victoria in the Federal Court for September 13.

It is alleged Ms Gibson falsely claimed she healed her terminal cancer naturally when promoting her Whole Pantry phone app and book.

Ms Gibson and her liquidators previously failed to appear at case management hearings or file a defence in the Federal Court.

But on Thursday orders were made for the matter to proceed to a hearing.

Consumer Affairs wants Ms Gibson to pay a fine and publish an apology in newspapers acknowledging she lied, according to an application for an injunction to stop her from continuing similar behaviour.

The regulator claims Ms Gibson engaged in "unconscionable conduct" when she said was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2009 and given four months to live, before taking then rejecting conventional medicine to heal herself naturally.
